West Virginia (CNN)- A federal judge has blocked the Biden administration’s effort to expand the scope of Title IX, which prohibits sex-based discrimination in schools.
The administration proposed extending those protections for LGBTQ+ students.
The new rules were set to take effect on August 1.
However, six states—Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia—filed lawsuits challenging the provision.
A federal judge sided with the states, saying that the new protections cannot proceed while the lawsuit plays out.
